Replacement coils are an essential component to all devices that don’t contain fixed or disposable coils.

The coils restore e-liquid flavour and enhance the performance of your device. All
coils, whether fixed or not, do
need to be changed.

What is a coil?

A coil is a metal shell that wraps around a wick, which is typically organic cotton. The wick absorbs the e-liquid
and when heated and inhaled it creates the vapour and successfully delivers a flavour and nicotine hit.

E-cigarettes are designed to be vaped regularly throughout the day, which means
the cotton is heated multiple times
per day. Doing this naturally causes the cotton to burn, and when this occurs, you could either experience a burnt
taste or your device could stop performing to the same quality it did when first purchased.

When should I change my coil?

We recommend changing your coil every 1-2 weeks to retain flavour and performance. However, this is entirely down to
how much you vape. If you’re a frequent vaper, you may need to change the coil more often. Likewise, if you don’t
vape as much, your coil may last longer than two weeks.

For the most part, you will be able to tell when the coil needs changing. For instance, the e-liquid flavour may
become less prominent and taste differently, or you may not get the same hit you did previously, or you may have
reduced vapour production.

Most kits have a simple coil replacement method that will be indicated in the user manual. When changing the coil,
remember to prime it by dripping e-liquid directly on the cotton holes that are visible on the coil.

Are there different types of coils?

Yes. Each device is likely to have a specific coil that fits and works with the device. On occasion e-cigarette
brands will make devices that work with a range of coils, giving you more options.

Vaping Starter kits typically come with coils that are rated 1.0ohm or
higher. This relates to the
resistance of the coil. Higher resistance is best suited to the usage of 10ml
e-liquid with a PG/VG ratio of either
50PG/50VG or 60PG/40VG. The PG makes the mixture thinner and more compatible with the smaller juice holes,
ultimately offering a more satisfying vaping experience.

Coils that have a resistance of below 1.0ohm are mainly compatible with advanced vaping kits but can be an option for
certain intermediate kits. These coils have larger juice holes which are more fitting to high VG e-liquid such as
our Shortz or KonceptXIX range. The VG is the vapour
element, with these coils enhancing the taste and vapour
production. The majority of vapers that use higher VG e-liquid, typically vape a lower concentration of nicotine,
with some not using any at all.

Your coil choice will depend on the device and your preferences. Certain kits will have limited resistances,
favouring higher ohms due to the size and design of the e-cigarette or pod. Whereas, more advanced e-cigarettes will
have more options that suit specific vaping styles, e.g. cloud chasers.

Please note that we do not recommend using higher VG e-liquid in starter kits as the thicker juice will cause your
coil to burn out faster. Likewise, higher PG juice in advanced kits may cause the device to leak.
